The Upside of Stress with Dr. Kelly McGonigal

Stress is part of life, right? So let's get good at it! Kelly taught me that stress and meaning are inextricably linked. Because stress happens when something you care about is at stake. It's not a sign to run away - it's a sign to step forward.

Kelly believes that it's possible to experience hope, joy, and meaning, even when things are difficult. And I believe that the best way to do this is to connect - with one another and with something bigger than ourselves.

Dr. Kelly McGonigal is a health psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University, known for her work in the field of 'science help,' which focuses on translating insights from psychology and neuroscience into practical strategies that support health and well-being. This interview might just mark the turning point of how stress impacts your life.
